Just got this. Holds my laptop nicely. But did anyone else notice a funky smell when they first got it? I feel like I'm getting high off fumes.

Mine had no smell at all. The only problem I had was that it was too slick. Everything had a tendency to slide off, including my computer. It's probably varnish that you are smelling. If you live in a place where you can set it outside, you can let it "air out." If not, I suggest that you send it back.

My bean bag was not that smelly, and I did not have the same issue you had. i have read you can take the foam out of the bag and wash the cover, that should help. Also, the more you "fuf it", the less it will smell.

How long is the computer running or when the fumes start coming from the computer. A computer overheating does put of fumes but I wouldnt call it noxious. The cooler on the chip is a nice size with brass piping so if it is overheating that way it would be because the fan is not working. Let me know how long it takes for these fumes to start smelling

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

I have bought two types of these in the past week. (not this one). I keep feeling heat on my lap. Do you feel heat with this one?

Have had no problems with this issue. I often use the laptop on my lap and it seems firm to me.

I have been buying this product for about 6months now and it does have a little smell to it, but not overwhelming. If it's quite noticeable I would suggest sending it back. It shouldn't be super strong. I notice it when I have my nose close to the container, but otherwise its faint. Good luck!

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

Yes I have. Mine gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to hold. I reboot it when that happens and it seems to cure the problem for a while

Hi,I just got mine and love it and haven't had any discomfort with it; however, there is no cushion on the corners but a rubber lip near the edge (as pictured) so the laptop doesn't slip off. It is made of hard plastic with the cushion underneath for lap comfort.

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.

I have had no issues in my vehicle with any odor. I have the on the inner firewall and inside the hood which gets quite warm. Just use a roller to make sure it sticks. Sounds like a good idea you have.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

I have. I have only had the fan for a few days and it is starting to bother me. I have no idea what it is. Has the smell stopped for you?
